Our community pool opens up to the dogs every Fall to raise money for the Frostburg Dog Park. It is very entertaining to watch the kids and adults alike swim and interact with their wading or swimming dogs...wish it could happen daily to provide therapeutic exercise for the pets and their companions. Thanks for sharing these tips!
